KEEPING ACCOUNTS.
An eminent lawyer who died not long ago was once smitten with the notion that he ought to economise In the smaller items of his domestic expenditure. In pursuance of this idea he purchased a memorandum book, in which to Jot down all the little sums he spent each day. "1 can compare notes from day to day," he said, "and find out how much I spend, and so learn to regulate my expenditure here and there." The book was bought, and after the lawyer's death his executors, going over his effects,eame across it One of them was Interested to know how far his friend had been successful In regulating his expenses, and he opened the book, to find this the sole Item contained therein, "To one memorandum book, one stilling."
